FINALLY ! McCain Challenges Obama On Economy
After the first debate, there was great disappointment that McCain did not aggressively defend his track record on the economy When Obama said that McCain believed in Deregulation, McCain gave a tepid response: But — but let me — let me point out, I also warned about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and warned about corporate greed and excess, and CEO pay, and all that. A lot of us saw this train wreck coming. McCain should have mentioned that he introduced legislation to fix the GSO’s over two years ago but it was squelched by the Democratic party.
It looks today FINALLY McCain is taking off the gloves, in a speech today he is going to talk about his attempts to avoid the crisis two years ago and how the Obama’s Democrats killed it.Then he will REALLY go after Obama:
My opponent has invited serious questioning by announcing a few weeks ago that he would quote — “take off the gloves.” Since then, whenever I have questioned his policies or his record, he has called me a liar.
Rather than answer his critics, Senator Obama will try to distract you from noticing that he never answers the serious and legitimate questions he has been asked. But let me reply in the plainest terms I know. I don’t need lessons about telling the truth to American people. And were I ever to need any improvement in that regard, I probably wouldn’t seek advice from a Chicago politician.
This is what we have been begging for, lets hope its not too late. There is more about McCain’s Hard-hitting speech below:
